Maths - Tapa Cloth Reflection - By Cathy

Tapa Cloth Reflection

1. Are you pleased with your accomplishment? Why / Why Not? Yes because I have never made a Tapa cloth and this is my first time. I think this is a good first try.

2. What were some of the most interesting discoveries you made while working on your Tapa Cloth? About the task? About myself? One thing I discovered is how to use bleach and that it can make brown dye white when you put the bleach over it. Another thing I thought of is that horizontal is lines going across and vertical is line going up.

3. What were some of my most challenging moments in making my Tapa Cloth  and what made them so? Some of the most challenging things was trying to get the bleach to not go out of the lines and drawing my design onto the paper, drawing the flowers petals was hard.

4. What would you do differently if you were to make a Tapa Cloth again? I would make a different design and use a smaller brush when using the brown dye or bleach.

5. What / who helped you with your Tapa Cloth?

My ruler helped me and Miss Paton helped me. Also the grid lines helped me to ensure my flower petals were exactly the same as each other.

6. What could you modify / alter on your Tapa Cloth? I would try not to make the bleach go over the lines and I would dye the little flowers in the corners white.

7. What aspect of your Tapa Cloth are you most proud of? I am proud of the whole Tapa Cloth.

Cadbury Is Closed This is bad - Argument - By Cathy

Cadbury Is Closed

By Cathy / Catherine

When someone says Cadbury we all think about that yummy
tasty chocolate that has been one of everyone's favourites. By
closing the Cadbury factory in Dunedin lots of things have
affected New Zealand.

In 1930 Cadbury teamed up and made the first ever cadbury bar
of chocolate. When people had tasted the chocolate they all
liked it and that’s when Cadbury started to wow everyone by the
amazing taste.

When you think about that tasty chocolate you feel happy but
when you hear the the factory in dunedin has closed and all the
way in Australia they have started a chocolate factory you feel
sad and don’t believe what your hearing at first, but sadly this is
for real, this is all true.

There are so many reasons to be sad because lots of workers
have lost their jobs and because the new chocolate factory is in
Australia bringing the chocolate to local supermarkets will be
hard and expensive because it’s coming from overseas and the
chocolate probably will cost more.

Another thing I am sad about is that New Zealand's Cadbury
history is going to be lost. Did you know that since 2002 every
year Cadbury does a race with chocolate jaffa balls. They roll
jaffers down the steepest street in the world that is Baldwin
Street and sees which jaffer ball reaches the end first.

Con:

Closing Cadbury is heartbreaking for all chocolate lovers like me.
We can’t do anything now but I vehemently, believe that
Cadbury shouldn't have been closed!!!
